Voices From Eternity.

"Great is my wisdom" the old man said.
Great is my knowledge, and vast ana
deep;
The earth, and the air, and the ocean-bed
Have given their secrets for me to keep.
With years and honors my locks are crowned,
And greater yet shall my glory bel"
But hand came out of the dark profound,
And voice from the depths of Eternity:
Let the pail be spread,
And the mourners meet.
A laurel for the dead,
And a winding-sheet"
''Ah, " said the bride, in her beauty bright,
Dancing in time to her light young heart.
We were welded but yesternight,
Never again ia the word to part.n
But the hand came out of the chill March
mist,
And rent the lace of her wedding veil;
The stars went out, and the winds were visit,
And she heard the voice in the shadows
wall:
"a pillow for the head,
For the bride is sweet,
And a lily for the dead,
And winding sheet"
II will build a palace so fair, so fair
Said the youthful king in his royal pride,
"That men shall call it beyond compare,
And its towers shall triumph DER time
and tide"
But the mighty hand from the dark was
thrust
And his ermine robes and the crown of gold
Were cast without in the wayside dust,
And the SOLEMN voice to the throne was
rolled:
Candles for the head,
And candles for the feet
A mausoleum for the dead
And a winding-sheet"
4 will sing" said the poet, "a song so clear,
So sweet and mellow, so long and loud,
That, earthward turning an envious ear,
The lark will pause in the morning cloud.
But the hand came out of the twilight gray
And broke the strings of his Tyre in two,
And sealed his lips with seal of clay,
And the voice came down with the falling
dew
I'm Heaven" it said,
Are songs more sweet;
Roses for the dead,
But winding Sheet"
''But by and by when the risen souls
Go down in their graves for the crumbling
clay,
And the smoke of the burning world upFolls
In the sunset fires of the Judgment Day
The sound of voices the sky shall fill,
OF friends that meet, and of foes forgiven,
Till the highest stars in the dome shall thrill
To the ended song of the blessed in
Heaven:
"Crowns for the head
And harps for the hand,
And how'ry way to tread,
In the morning land.

Condensed Love Stories,

The Elmira Gazette mas made
collection OF condensed love stories.
from which the following is taken:
Sir Arthur Helps gave it as his be-
lief that since the world was created
no two couples ever made love after
the same fashion. And since "It takes
all sorts OF folks to make world"
they may be fairly supposed to do
their counting in all sorts OF ways.
For instance, the counting OF the abo-
riginal OF Australia consisted simply
in knocking the woman OF his prefer
ence down with a club and carrying
her of. This form OF wooing was as
eficacious as brief, and was certainly
commendable on the score ofeconomy,
since it subjected neither party to the
expense OF lights, fires, oyster suppers,
ice-cream, elaborate dresses, flowers,
ETC., which are the usual concomitants
OF civilized love-making. The method
oil the Australian has been tried by
other than dusky savages. 1t is an
historical fact that William the Con-
aueror conducted his courtship in a
similar manner. Having fallen in love
with Flemish maiden, he had told
her Of the preference, but received in
return only scorn and indifference.
Becoming enraeed at this, he one day
attacked the damsel in the open strest
and pummeled her numerically. The
result was that she consented to his
suit, and made, when married, one OF
the meekest wives imaginable. In
civilized countries OF our day this
counting ceremony is, strange TO say,
sometimes used after marriage.

coIored People In England.

"Colored people who are ambitious
to escape the social inferiority OF their
position in the United States should
emierate to England" thinks q Lon
don correspondent OF the New York
World. "There appears to be pref
udce in his favor. The negroes in Eng.
land have free companionship with
whites OF even superior grade OF intel
ligence. have seen any lumber OF
negro men out walking or riding with
white women. 1t is also common
enough to see negro women, attended
by clean. cut, good-looking English
men. II the negro woman does not
have q white attendant, it il because
she prefers one of her own race. The
only noticeable prejudice comes
from the negroes themselves. Recently
going up the river to Kew, they came
on board the little steamer at the
Chelsea pier, a blue-eyed blonde, her
manner that of neat house-maid or
upper servant. She was in the COM
pany OF the meanest-looking negro
specimen / have ever seen. He was
understood and shabby. He had the
unwholesome color OF the offspring OF
q very low specimen OF white trash
united with a degraded mulattress.
This degenerate specimen of humanity
was looked up to by this fresh-faced,
neatly-dressed English maid, as if he
were q person OF superior rank and
position. As they sat down upon the
side of the rail her negro companion
passed his lean, yellow-nailed hand
round her waist, under he cloak, and
gazed up into her clean-looking face
with an expression OF leering satisfac-
ton"

Catanh to CONSUMPTION

Catarrh in its destructive force stahds next
to and undoubtedly leads on to consumption.
1t is therefore singular that those afflicted
with this fearful disease should not make it
the object Of their lives to rid themselves of
it. Deceptive remedies cOncOcted by ignorant
pretendeTs to medical knowledge have weak
ened the confidence Of the great majority of
sufferers in a. advertised remedies. They
become resigned to a life of misery rather
than torture themselves with doubtful pallia-
tives.
But this will never do. CataTrh must be
met at every stage and cOmbatted with all our
might. In many cases the disease has as
sumed dangerous symptoms. The bones and
cartilage of the nose, the organs of hearing,
of seeing and of tasting so affected as to be
useless, the uvula so elongated, the throat so
inhamed and irritated as TO produce a con-
slant and distressing cough.
SANFORD's RADICAL CURE meets every
phase of Catarrh, from simple head cold to
the most lOathsOme and destructive stages
ii is local and constitutional. Instant in re-
lieving, permanent in curing, safe, economical
and never-failing.
Each package contains one bottle of the
RADICAL CURE, one box of CATARRHAL SOLv-

Gambling i'm Mexico.

A short distance from the church,
booths are erected, from which pro-
ceeds music of harps and guitars. In
them the visitors to Guadalupe may
crafty any fondness they may have for
the great national vice-gambling. The
strange. harsh cries of those who have
charge of the business, as they call out
the details of stakes to be offered and
the result of each deal and play, are
positively repulsive. The groups of
players in each booth comprise men,
women, and even children, of every
class, in about the proportion in which
the several classes exist in the country.
There are small stakes and large ones,
and the variety of games by which the
appeal to chance is made seems end
less. The players chat and laugh as
they play, and though they watch the
game very closely, and if their money
lasts, play sometimes all night long,
there is none of that feverish or ex-
cited look about them which is notice
able in the faces of gamblers else
where. 1t is evident that the Mexicans
gamble entirely for the sport there is
in gambling. They win or lose with
the same happy look, the same gay
laugh. Magazine

Breaking n BrOnchO.

Ambrose Smith of Big Spring had an
untamed broncho that he wanted to
have broken as saddle-horse. He
offered couple of vaqueros 81 if they
or either of them would ride him. The
vaqueros looked at the animal, but
thought that riding him would be too
much risk of neck for that amount of
money and declined. Soon two squaws
came along and stopped to look at the
horse. Mr.. Smith, in his spirit of fun,
told them he would give them $3.50 if
they would ride the horse. They at
once accepted the offer. The animal
was caught and haltered and the squaws
led him away some distance from the
house. Soon after one of them went to
Mr.. Smith and asked for saddle.
No such thing had ever been on the
back of the horse, but he let them have
it. Not long afterward he looked out,
and, to his establishment, saw both
s1uaws on the back of the broncho
and the animal going along quite gently.
The squaws beat the professional horse

He Will Get His Hat Back.

In first-class carriage in Germany
an Englishman was observed to be con-
stantly putting his head out of the win
dow. The train was going fast, and a
sudden gust of wind blew his hat of.
With fearful oath he reached down
for his hat-box and hurled it after the
hat. Then he sat down and smiled on
his fellow-passengers, but of course
did not speak. The Germans roared
with laughter and one of them ex-
claimed: "You don't expect your hat
box to bring your hat back to you, do
your"
Il do" said the Englishman. "No
name on the hat, full name and hotel
address on the box. They'll be found
together, and 1 shall get both, d'you
